Hi, No I have not implemented any configurator. Currently on application start-up it gets loaded from the web-inf/classes. What we were thinking that after application has started up something changes then how to configure. If we call only configure and not configurewatch then will it be fine. The system admin when changes the file he has to reload the file in the memory by manually clicking on the button.

When you configure log4j using DOMConfigurator, and use configureAndWatch, it automatically reloads that file when it changes. You don't need to invoke anything. > -----Original Message----- > From: Prasad, Kamakshya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 11:27 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Reloading the properties file > > Hi All, > > > > We have a j2ee web application using log4j for logging purpose.
